Jean Mamakos, a 68-year-old woman from Long Island, is suing United Airlines for $5 million after she spent 3 days in jail following an arrest for attempting to change seats on her flight.
The charge for changing seats on on a plane? Get this: Trespassing
The story is baffling on several levels and garnered enough attention that it was featured on Inside Edition (watch the brief clip next).
What airline? Not loading/opening on phone.
it says United Airlines
Whats wrong with ppl? When u pay for a ticket that is the number seat you get! Its like going to a ball game your seat# is where you sit!
United
I hope she wins
If this happened as reported, she should win huge sum of money and use some of it to sue United personnel individually and to sue Seattle PD.
I remember a time .. especially on international flights .. when there were usually lots of empty seats and it was no big deal if you went and laid down in an aisle of empty seats and went to sleep .. a different time I guess .. and the stewardesses were younger and better lookin’ as well … oops! Can I say that? Probably offensive to say that ….
PC’s are really over stepping bounds. Will we ever get back to normal, I don’t mean the new normal. That happens if we keep going this way, PC’s. Hope she wins a large settlement!
This woman’s story sounds half truth. It must have been going on for a while if the police were already on their way! I can’t see any airline calling the police for someone who only moved seats. She sounds like a woman who is used to getting her own way. She also resisted arrest. When we have kids who won’t comply with rules and disrupt the lesson then they are removed from cl$#%&!@*.
